Today, in our capacity as a homeschooling family, we were invited, along with other area schools to a sneak peak of the USA Science and Engineering Festival. What is a sneak peak? Well, as far as I can tell, it’s when 2000 instead of 3000 of the exhibitors are present! And, it was hardly noticeable! [Read More]
